Free Hugs at Ferguson

Alas the media rarely highlight the abundances of good works in action such as these. And they certainly don’t encourage a path of unity in today’s world. Sadly their twisted and negative influence permeates through to many sheep like thinkers. Are you a sheeplike thinker or do you investigate the facts for yourself?

A Portland police officer, Sergeant Bret Barnum, was wearing protective head gear and patrolling a protest in Portland, Oregon when he noticed a 12-year-old boy, Devonte Hart, holding a “Free Hugs” sign.

The 21-year police vet motioned over Devonte and the pair chatted about the demonstration, school, art and life, the Oregonian reported. When their chat was over, Barnum reportedly pointed to Hart’s sign and asked, “Do I get one of those?”

Here’s the kid’s answer:

A simple hug between two people, who are just trying to get along, gives us all a little more hope.
